(Contents do not necessarily express the opin ions of this newspaper.! August 7, 1950 Plattsmouth Journal Plattsmouth, Nebraska Dear Sirs: During the work of this Asso ciation in behalf of better roads in Nebraska, many statements have been made by those oppos ing the repairing, rebuilding and construction of state roads in Nebraska. Many questions have been asked by the public with respect to the road policy of this Association. In order that the people of Nebraska may know the policy of the Better Nebraska Association and its members, with respect tc roads, the following is a state ment of policy which can leave no doubt of our position: The 1949 Road Program, in creasing gasoline tax and motor vehicle registration fees, was recommended and supported by this Association after studv demonstrated that with the in creased revenue the overall road needs in Nebraska would be im proved. Of great importance to Ne braska roads is the "farm to market" program which has made much progress in getting farmers "out of the mud". This progress has been made under the provisions of the mail route graveling legislation passed in 1947, generally known as the -.jaE 24i Schroeder Road Bill, by which lc of the gas tax goes to the counties for this purpose. The Better Nebraska Association rec ognizes the importance to far mers of access to main high ways, markets, schools and churches, and believes that this legislation and this principle of rural improvement should be re tained. Of equal importance to Ne braska roads is the 1949 Road Program which will permit the repair, rebuilding and construc tion of our uncompleted and badly worn state highway sys tem. This is being made pos sible by reason of a lc increase in gasoline tax and increased registration fees passed by the 1949 Legislature. Due to our use of the truck to transport live stock, produce, grain, imple ments and agricultural supplies from the farm to the terminal markets and return, state roads have become an integral part of the "farm to market" program. In 1949, for the first time, a part of the registration fees paid on vehicles owned within city and village limits are pro vided to repair and rebuild city and village streets. This Association approves the policy of sharing highway user funds on rural and state roads and city and village streets, be cause all three road systems, state highways, rural roads and city and village streets, must be planned and improved through cooperative effort. Everyone knows that road costs are much higher than ten years ago. The legislation passed in 1947 and 1949 is essential to these increased costs. Now all roads in Nebraska have had legislative consideration and fin ancial assistance. These increases should remain the law and policy of Nebraska until prices, road conditions or other facts re quire in justice and equity that further study and consideration be had. BETTER NEBRASKA ASSOCIATION Ben H. Hughes Chairman. Executive Committee CAPITOL NEWS 'Continued from Page Four) could say was. "the law is per fectly clear." A quick rundown of other statehouse developments: The state school-community health program, partially under written for the past three years by the W. K. Kellogg Founda tion, is being continued with the state colleges, the University of Nebraska and Omaha U. bearing the financial load. Counties divvied up just un der a million dollars as their share of the $2 '2 million col lected in gasoline taxes in July. The figures were about the same as in June. State selective service head quarters notified draft boards that married men may be draft ed. This was aimed at prevent ing a potential inductee from escaping service by going to the altar instead of the army after his physical examination. Counties Receive Gas Tax Split From the office of the state treasurer at Lincoln is an nounced the distribution of al most a million dollars to the counties of the state. To the counties for the im provement of rural mail routes went the sum of $396 571.12. To the counties, cities, towns and villages went the sum of $594,856.63. for road and street work. The state hiehwav department is riven $1,387,993.93. The county share of the allo cated fund will be transmitted in part to the other political subdivisions of the counties. In this Cass county is allocated $3,097.77. The share of Cass county for rural mail route improvement is $5,398.51. VISIT IN CITY Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bruhl and sons. Billy and Terry, of Cresco. Nebraska, were in the city for the week end. They were euests at the John Libershal. George Weidman and Ed Barker homes. Mr. Bruhl is a nephew cf the ladies. Use Journal Want Ads!
